Your friend says seat belts are pointless on a two-block drive. The safest response is:
- A.Agree if traffic is light
- B.Wear a belt only if police are nearby
- C.Sit closer to the dashboard instead
- D.Buckle up anyway — crashes can happen on any trip
Correct answer
D. Buckle up anyway — crashes can happen on any trip
Why
Distance does not remove crash risk, and the law requires belts for everyone on every trip. Buckling up takes seconds and is your best protection.
